Q:I have a Canon XF100. Being strictly an amateur, I would like to avoid the expense of full blown NLEs such as Final Cut Pro, iMovie, Final Cut Express. that canhandle Canon’s MXF files. So here’s my question: What formats can I convert to and still get 100%, high quality/top quality HD video that would be equal to the video I would get with any of the aforementioned editors? Many thanks in advance for any response!

Anyway, don't be anxious. At first, let’s know something about MXF, OK? What is mxf? Andwhat format is the best to be converted to for editing?

Currently, there’re two basic MXF types: One is those where the essence (media) is stored in the same file as the metadata that refers to it. The other is that where the essence is stored in separate files to the metadata, while these files have External essence.
